Chiefs explain “goofy” fumble vs. Vikings

The Chiefs were trailing the Vikings by six midway in the fourth quarter and were at Minnesota's 43-yard line when Stephenson inadvertently punched the ball out of Charcandrick West's hands on a running play. The Vikings recovered, and the Chiefs never got that close to the end zone again.

“Just bad, just a goofy play,” Stephenson said. “It (stinks). I'm still kind of mad about it. But it could have happened to anybody.
